Designed for the Wooly Wonka Shakespeare in Lace Club 2011, June 2011.

In addition to the original instructions for a 5-panel shawl, the pattern now includes instructions for a 4-panel version (half-circle).

The pattern is suitable for any laceweight yarn, and is shown in the photos worked with Wooly Wonka Thalia (5-panel version - knit using 3.5 mm needles) and Oceanwind Knits Merino Lace (4-panel version - sample was knit using 3.0 mm needles).
